Our Young Women’s Workers support young women affected by violence and gang activity by working intensively with them to help them secure a positive future. The service works within Redthread’s Youth Violence Intervention Programme and so our initial contact with the young women is in the A&E department, followed up with longer-term community-based support.

To do this role well you need to be a people person; passionate about supporting young women, and excited at the prospect of working in a fast-paced and exceptionally busy environment. You’ll need a proven ability to work with high risk, vulnerable young women and an understanding of the impact intense, short term work can have as well as longer interventions.

You must be a strong communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young woman as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues. You’ll be keen to keep learning, seizing training opportunities at Redthread and continuously reflecting upon and improving your practice.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, our teams are still working from the hospitals as we are classed as essential workers. You will need to do shifts the hospital, as well as working some days in the community and from home, depending on the needs of the team and the service.

In return, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a supportive and flexible working environment, excellent staff training and development package and access to a range of employee benefits including; enhanced annual leave and family leave entitlements, employer pension scheme contribution, access to clinical supervisions, enhanced employee assistance programme services and more.

What do our Youth Intervention team do?

Redthread empowers young people to thrive as they navigate the challenging transition to adulthood by integrating trauma-informed youth work into the health sector. Whether a young person has been the victim of a stabbing, is seeking support for anxiety, has suffered a sexual assault, or wants to find a new home beyond the reach of a gang, we support them to overcome the challenges they face through our dynamic youth work programmes.

Every year thousands of young people find themselves in hospital A&E departments as the victim of serious youth violence. Redthread’s Youth Violence Intervention Programme embeds youth workers in hospitals to intervene with these young people. The teams meet the young patients as soon as they can: in the A&E waiting room, on the ward, or even in the resuscitation bay. We believe that this moment of intense crisis, when the young person is nursing a serious injury in the daunting environment of a busy hospital, often alone, can be a catalyst for pursuing positive change – a ‘teachable moment’.

Our teams build rapport with the young people, mentor and advise them, and support them to make long-term positive plans to break away from cycles of violence and offending. Problems include exclusion from education, employment or training, a lack of stability in housing, mental health concerns, unstable relationships and reprimands due to criminal activity. Redthread capitalise on our partnerships to ensure long-term work and change is possible for each young person. The teams make well-judged referrals on their behalf and accompany them to initial meetings to ensure transition is smooth. This work disrupts the cycle that can too easily lead to devastated communities and an exhausted healthcare and justice system.

This highly rewarding new role aims to meet the needs of survivors of Irish institutional abuse. It requires a sensitive, persistent and equitable approach to building trust and relationships with survivor groups and achieving positive outcomes. You will have a good understanding of the dynamics of working with survivors of institutional abuse. You will be compassionate and empathetic with a passion for making a difference to the lives of survivors of Irish institutional abuse.
